Arsenal F.C. is a football club who are based in Islington, London. Fulham have been opponents of theirs as far back as 1903, when they first met in the London League. In the late 19th century Fulham had actually changed their once black-and-white striped kit to a red kit, which purportedly was influenced by Arsenal's colours. This change occured ahead of the 1896-97 season, though Fulham would later change again to their now settled choice of white.

Matches

To date, Fulham have played Arsenal competitively on 69 occasions (won 11, drew 13, lost 45).

62 of these meetings have come in League fixtures, 1 in the FA Cup, 4 in the London Challenge Cup & 2 in the defunct London League Premier Division. They have remarkably never met in the League Cup and haven't met in any cup competition since 1925.

27 additional meetings were competitions arranged during World War's I & II. These are not considered first team matches, mainly down to the fact that teams were often made up of guest players, and the strength of teams put out were very inconsistent.

Notable matches include a 6-1 victory for Fulham in an early Second Division meeting in 1913, which remains the clubs biggest win over them. The Whites have not had much success over the years against Arsenal, and to date have only one competitive away victory; a 3-1 win in October 1919 in a London Challenge Cup fixture. Fulham came within seconds of recording their first away League victory in 2021 until a last-gasp equalizer in a 1-1 draw.

Players

To date, there have been at least 90 players who have played for both Fulham and Arsenal.

Notable players include Ronnie Rooke, who would likely have become Fulham's all-time record goalscorer had it not been for the Second World War, Malcolm Macdonald, who also went on to manage the club in the early 1980's & Luís Boa Morte, who despite struggling to make a big impression at Arsenal, became a fan favourite during his time at Craven Cottage. Bill Dodgin Jr spent the entirety of his playing career at both clubs, and managed Fulham from 1969 to 1972.
